Planning a field trip?

The General George Patton Museum offers a wide range of field trips for students. Field trips are free, though donations (we suggest a $20.00 donation to the Patton Museum Foundation) are always appreciated!
It is preferred that you book three weeks ahead in order to secure a volunteer tour guide. To book a tour, please call (502) 624-6350.

When booking a tour please include:

the number of students/visitors attending so we can provide sufficient guides

the grade level/age of the students/visitors (if adults just enter adults)

name of the school or organization

the time and date of your tour (and an alternative if we are unable to support your original request)

If possible, to familiarize your students with the museum prior to your arrival, you may use our online pre visit lesson plans. Students/Visitors will be met inside the museum by their tour guide. Extremely large groups should be divided, prior to entering the museum, to make guiding easier. There are restrooms immediately inside the museum. All tours are required to fill out a group visit form upon arrival.

Student/Visitor please remember:

There is no food or drink allowed inside the museum. Special permission is required for food to be brought into the museum

Walk, do not run while inside the museum.

The museum is a public facility. Please do not yell while inside the museum. There are many other visitors, including soldiers, inside the museum.
